The delegation from Shinzo in the Presidential Palace in Guatemala
GMA member Ricardo Cavalcanti was recently in Guatemala to attend MMA event Shinzo.
The event had the presence of MMA stars such as Stephan Bonnar , Phil Baroni, Ivan Salaverry, Mauricie Smith, Stephan Quadros and Nick Blongren.
The event received wide attention from the local media and a delegation was invited to the Presidential Palace to meet with Guatemala’s Culture Minister.
Ricardo, who is the leader of Cavalcanti BJJ – Carlson Gracie Las Vegas, also took part of an autograph signing in a shopping center, where he was amazed with how Guatemalans know Jiu-Jitsu: “People would shout the phrase ‘Nothing is more important than Jiu-Jitsu.'”
At the end, Ricardo promised to go back to Guatemala to teach a free BJJ seminar next December, when Shinzo 2 will take place.
